Avoid Him/Her or Not?
Q: After dating for six months, my boyfriend
stopped calling me and will not return my calls.
How could he be so spineless and not break up with
me face-to-face? I have to see him next week at a
school dance. Do you think I should cancel my plans
to avoid him?—Debbie, St. Louis, MO
A: Break ups don't always happen in textbook
fashion. Sometimes they happen the way yours did.
The end result is the same—you don't see each
other.
As for how you will act—be polite and
respectful. If you see him, make your way over and
say, 'I just wanted to say hello. How have you
been.' If you don't want to go that far, don't
ignore him, it will only make the situation more
tense. Instead, if you meet eyes, be polite and
wave to acknowledge him. Break ups happen all the
time; there is no reason for you to avoid social
situations just because he will be there.
